Hotel resort developer and operator Las Vegas Sands announced that its Scope 1 and 2 emissions remained below its 2025 Planet ambition of reducing emissions by 17.5% from the 2018 base year, with emissions down 50% in 2024. 

The company achieved progress through the implementation of energy-efficiency projects and by making additional purchases of energy attribute certificates.

In 2024, the company also released its first low-carbon transition plan, which outlined a new 30% emissions-reduction target that complements its existing 17.5% emissions-reduction target that was validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). 

Details were released in its latest environmental, social and governance (ESG) report, outlining the company’s 2024 performance on the corporate responsibility priorities established for its 2021-2025 reporting period.

“In 2025, we are focused on closing the gaps around our 2025 goals and continuing to push ahead in  areas where we’ve achieved our ambitions or are currently surpassing our targets,” said Katarina Tesarova, senior vice president and chief sustainability officer, in a statement. “We are motivated to aim higher as we set our sights on a strong finish to our current reporting period and prepare to establish new goals for our 2026-2030 cycle.”

The company was included in the 2024 Dow Jones Sustainability World and North America Indices and the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2025, receiving designation among the top 10% of overall global ESG scores.
